Alpha Series 8 Inch Carbon Fiber Pair

This pair of in-wall speakers uses carbon fiber woofers and silk dome tweeters to deliver detailed audio for home theater or music systems. The 2-way design handles up to 160 watts of maximum input power for dynamic playback. They suit listeners who want installed sound without floor-standing cabinets.

Thermal Noise and Power Handling

Passive operation means the speakers produce no fan noise or active heat, relying entirely on the connected amplifier for drive current. Carbon fiber cones handle high power levels with significantly lower distortion than conventional materials at loud volumes. The rubber surround supports controlled excursion during demanding bass passages.

Magnetic Grille and Attenuator Benefits

The paintable metal grille attaches magnetically for a flush finish that blends into any wall colour without visible fasteners. A built-in high-frequency attenuator lets you reduce treble output if the room acoustics sound too bright. Wiring terminals accept cables up to 10AWG for secure, low-resistance connections.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 8 inch carbon fiber in-wall speakers and what step is often missed?

Cut the wall opening to fit the speaker frame, run speaker wire up to 10 AWG through the cavity, connect to the binding posts, secure the unit with the built-in mounting clamps, then attach the magnetic grille; the step often missed is adjusting the high-frequency attenuator before final mounting.

What maintenance or replacement will the 113682 speakers need over time?

The carbon fiber woofers and silk dome tweeters are designed for long-term use without scheduled maintenance; the paintable magnetic grille can be removed for cleaning or repainting, and the high-frequency attenuator may be readjusted if room acoustics change.

What limit appears first when the 160 watt maximum input power is sustained?

The 160 watts maximum input power rating is the primary limit; exceeding it risks thermal compression and driver distortion, so sustained playback should stay below this threshold to avoid triggering the protection limits of the carbon fiber woofer and silk dome tweeter.
